Heat Stress Readiness: Preparing for OSHA’s HIIP Rule -- Occupational Health & Safety

Heat Stress Readiness: Preparing for OSHA’s HIIP Rule

Date: Tuesday, March 31 at 2:00pm ET - 1:00pm CT - 11:00am PT

While OSHA’s proposed “Heat Injury and Illness Prevention in Outdoor and Indoor Work Settings” (HIIP) rule is still coming into focus, employers need to begin preparing for it now. Besides laying the foundation of compliance, heat stress represents a profound and immediate workplace health and safety risk.

So how do employers prepare for a rule that is still taking shape? Picking up from our June webinar on OSHA’s HIIP rule, expert Reyka “RJ” Ravenwood has been monitoring various factors that indicate how OSHA might eventually enforce the rule. For example, she will explore how measuring and monitoring heat exposure will play a crucial role in the coming HIIP rule, as well as frequent record keeping to document those efforts. Additionally, she will explore the types of measuring and monitoring that OSHA might require.

Health and safety professionals can expect an extremely detailed presentation from Ravenwood, who will draw on her safety leadership experience and expertise to discuss key steps they can take to fast-track heat stress programs that will protect workers today, and ensure compliance with OSHA’s HIIP rule when it is finalized in the future.

Attendees will learn about:

Key elements of OSHA’s proposed HIIP rule and its current status.
What will likely be key elements of that rule and what types of measurement and monitoring will be involved.
The employee training, possible resources, and recordkeeping that safety leaders will need to implement.
How employers can position themselves to protect workers from heat stress, as well as comply with the HIIP rule when OSHA finalizes it.
